By l.eona B. McMillan
In these times wht;n all minds
ire disturbed by rumors of wai
md decisive battle allow me to
all your attention to one of the
;reatest battles ever fought. Its
:reat because it differs in that it
s fought with the weapons of
ove, sacrifice and patience?Its
liferent because instead of de
troying life, the valient soidiers
re striving to save life. The
general" is so much but every
arrior has been and still is a
eorine. Its the battle that iis berg?fought
by the?Federation of
Vomen's Club in S.-.C. with the
larion B. Wilkinson Home as
he chief interest that I refer to
It is said that regardless how
efficient a general might be it'
1 ways - gives the soldiers a ' new
eterpiined spirit to hear enouraging
words from their genial.
It spurs them On to highei
iVelh and gives theni that feelig
that they can and must con
uer. Hence, I call on you my feluw
workers, to continue (as 1
now you will do) the great work
hat you started long years ago,
nd Which the rmiru?on"
-w-.-fevwuo icaers
have so nobly inspired in
ou.
1 feel unworthy to catch the
lantle from that ^leader or leaers?j'U'iss
Helen Usher, who foi
ix years knew 'no defeat, but 1
eel that the cause for which you
re laboring is so great that you
!AN'T falter, hence we WILL
?'OT faiL In the language of
/hurchill, but - with a different
pirit, I say: "The cause iis ours,
he victory will rightfully be ours
tit we must qveryone think one
hough'V prayone prayer, move
ne way; and the God of right
rill see to it that our "<ause be
?on." To this end, I pledge my
ife, my all. as your humble serant.
